Despite defensive flaws, Lewandowski's brace gives Barcelona its first win

FC Barcelona had to suffer, but they have achieved their first victory of the season at the Reale Arena. The resolution of the match came in the final half hour. Robert Lewandowski, Dembélé and Ansu Fati made the difference.

FC Barcelona has achieved its first victory of the season, going from less to more in an always complicated Reale Arena. The genius of Robert Lewandowski and Dembélé, with a sensational performance by Ansu Fati as a sub, gave three points to the team coached by a Xavi Hernandez who knows he is playing a lot and revolutionized his lineup and system (with three central defenders).

For the moment, Barça is one thing in attack and another when it comes to defending, but it only took Robert Lewandowski 45 seconds to score his first La Liga goal with Barcelona. Balde raced down the left flank and provided a luxury assist for a Robert Lewandowski who finished perfectly with his left foot and debuted as Barça's goal scorer, as the best possible gift on his 34th birthday.

Ter Stegen had a great performance

Although Barça managed to take an early lead, the shortcomings in the defensive zone are still more than evident, supported also by a Frenkie de Jong who was not at all accurate and suffered more than necessary. Like his entire team when it comes to defending and, this time, he has a lot to thank Marc-André ter Stegen who ended up as a savior, especially in the first half.
